When visiting Lake Placid, there are so many activities to enjoy, the only question is where to begin? Maybe it’s an easy hike up Cobble Hill, swimming in Mirror Lake, enjoying some festive live music in Mid's Park, or visiting the Olympic venues. Whether you have a few free hours or a few free days on your trip, discover the great time you and your family will have participating in our vast variety of Adirondack activities.
Educational, awesome, and just plain fun
- High Falls Gorge is just beckoning you to visit one of the Adirondack's most beautiful natural attractions. Walk the bridges, take a trek through the trails, marvel at the falls all around you, and don't forget a cool drink to finish the day!
- For a taste of history with your hike, check out John Brown Farm State Historic Site — it's the former home of abolitionist John Brown and the property's trails are absolutely gorgeous. Other great, easy hiking options include the Heaven Hill Trails and the Brewster Peninsula Trails. All three spots are just a short drive from downtown!
Dogs are family, too
If your family includes a furry friend, the village of Lake Placid is a great place for dogs and offers many pet-friendly lodging options.
